     This Amendment No. 1 amends and  supplements  the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule  14D-1 and  Statement on Schedule 13D filed on June 8, 1999 (as amended
and supplemented,  the "Schedule 14D-1/13D") relating to the offer (the "Offer")
by Bison  Acquisition  Corp.  (the  "Purchaser"),  a Delaware  corporation and a
wholly  owned  subsidiary  of United  Pan-Europe  Communications  N.V., a public
company with limited  liability  incorporated  under the laws of the Netherlands
("Parent"),  to  purchase  all of the  issued and  outstanding  shares of Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of @ Entertainment,  Inc.,
a Delaware  corporation (the "Company"),  at a price of $19.00 per share, net to
the seller in cash, without interest thereon,  upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated June 8, 1999 and the related
Letter  of  Transmittal,  as they may be  amended  from  time to time.  The item
numbers and responses  thereto below are in accordance with the  requirements of
Schedule 14D-1. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Offer to Purchase.

Item 10.  Additional Information.

     Item 10(f) is hereby amended to add at the end thereof the following:

     The third  paragraph  of Section  7--"Certain  Information  Concerning  the
Company--Cautionary  Statements  Concerning  Forward-Looking  Statements" of the
Offer to Purchase  is hereby  amended  and  restated in its  entirety to read as
follows:

          "In addition,  the  Projections  were not prepared in accordance  with
     generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and neither the Company's nor
     Parent's  independent  accountants  have  examined or  compiled  any of the
     Projections  or  expressed  any  conclusion  or provided  any other form of
     assurance  with  respect  to the  Projections  and  accordingly  assume  no
     responsibility  for the  Projections.  The Projections were prepared with a
     limited  degree of  precision,  and were not prepared with a view to public
     disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the Commission or
     the guidelines  established by the American  Institute of Certified  Public
     Accountants  regarding  projections,  which would  require a more  complete
     presentation of data than as shown above.  The inclusion of the Projections
     herein  should  not be  regarded  as a  representation  by  Parent  and the
     Purchaser or any other person that the projected  results will be achieved.
     In  particular,  Parent  and the  Company  may apply  differing  accounting
     methods to various aspects of their businesses,  including the treatment of
     certain equipment  provided to subscribers.  The Projections should be read
     in  conjunction  with the historical  financial  information of the Company
     included above. Neither Parent nor the Purchaser assumes any responsibility
     for the accuracy of the foregoing Projections.  Forward-looking  statements
     also include those preceded by, followed by or words "believes", "expects",
     "anticipates" or similar expressions. Such statements should be viewed with
     caution."

     The  first  sentence  of  the  final   paragraph  of  Section   8--"Certain
Information  Concerning the Purchaser and Parent" is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety to read as follows:

          "The  financial  data relating to Parent set forth below are presented
     in Dutch Guilders ("Guilders" or "NLG") and are prepared in accordance with
     accounting principles generally accepted in the United States."

     The final  paragraph of Section 2-- "Acceptance for Payment and Payment for
Common Stock" and Section 14--"Conditions of the Offer" of the Offer to Purchase
are each hereby amended to add to the end thereof the following:

     "Notwithstanding  the fact that the Purchaser  reserves the right to assert
     the  non-occurrence  of a  condition  set forth in  Section  14,  following
     acceptance for payment of Shares but prior to payment for Shares,  in order
     to delay  payment or cancel its  obligation  to pay for  properly  tendered
     Shares,  the Purchaser  understands that all conditions to the Offer, other
     than receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, must be satisfied or waived
     prior to the Expiration Date."
